Tupelo Honey is a well-known restaurant with a few locations that I was told is a must-visit while in the area.


Since I had pretty much been eating all day, I was only in the mood for a snack.


We started with some biscuits and jam. I love that biscuits come with every meal in the south.


And I ordered some fried green tomatoes - panko-crusted fried green tomatoes, basil, roasted red pepper sauce, served over stone-ground goat cheese grits.

Sometimes just homemade, comfort food is what hits the spot. And Kathrine's Cafe in Nitro does just that.


The pub has a gambling area, but the front seems mostly dedicated to diners. So, Dawn and I looked over the menu before making a decision.


She went wit ha burger, which they claim is the best in town. I went with a chicken and cheese quesadilla... and pasta salad! 


It was made with love, and you can taste it!

I think ice cream is the perfect ending to every meal. So, each time Dawn and I had a fabulous dinner in Asheville, we looked for a nearby ice cream parlor to end our evening. On this day, we stopped at the Ultimate Ice Cream Company.


So, I got these ice cream dippers, which are waffle cone pieces in ice cream, all topped with caramel, whipped cream and a cherry.


It was a fun take on a sundae - and very tasty.

I'm slowly making my way eating around Snowshoe. And while there recently, I decided to stop at Wildcat Provisions to pick up some quick breakfast.

The shop has a wide variety of snacks and basic pantry essentials. They have pepperoni rolls, deli sandwiches and hot dogs, too.

Here was my breakfast.

Summit Coffee Co. is a local coffee roaster in Asheville.


It's a super cute and cool vibe that is home to lots of working professionals during the day.


We went here while waiting for our lunch place to open.


Instead of coffee, I actually went with a cup of hot chocolate.
